Storage managers are hitting a crossroads in 2006. Data in virtually every organization continues to grow at a breakneck pace -- and to keep up, storage networks continue to be built out. This effort is juxtaposed against the storage manager's need to keep it all manageable and keep costs under control.

As in the past, Storage Decisions was a multi-track event. The tracks, and their themes:

Executive -- "Scale Storage, Manage Costs"

Architecture -- "Tiered Storage"

Smart Shopper -- "Simplify, Scale and Save"

Engineering -- "Building Enterprise Storage Networks"

Data Protection -- "Back Up, Build Out"

TRACK 1: EXECUTIVE, "Scale Storage, Manage Costs"C-level technology executives not only need to know the status of their current operations but meticulously plan for the future. Our "Executive track" sessions give these technologists an idea of where their storage should be and ideas on where it's headed. Sessions also key on ways to integrate new technologies, processes and ideas without going over budget.

Sessions included in this track:

Five Innovations Impacting StoragePresented by Arun Taneja, Taneja Group

TRACK 2: SMART SHOPPER, "Simplify, Scale and Save"Very few storage managers have carte blanche when it comes to storage spending. Because of this and the harsh demands of data growth rates, managers need to spend budget wisely. Sessions in our "Smart Shopper track" help managers get the most bang for their storage buck. Talks on negotiating with vendors, looking at different product sets and emerging technologies fall in this realm.

TRACK 3: ARCHITECTURE, "Tiered Storage"More than 70% of the attendees of Storage Decisions 2005 said they are setting up or evaluating a tiered storage architecture. Featured in this track will be the popular Tiered Storage School sessions along with other sessions that can help any manager set up or administer this new architecture.

TRACK 4: ENGINEERING, "Building Enterprise Storage Networks"To keep up with the demands of data and business requirements, managers need to engineer the most flexible and complete storage network. This track looks at SAN and NAS issues, distance demands, remote offices and how to build out systems.

TRACK 5: DATA PROTECTION, "Back Up, Build Out"Quite possibly the top issue in storage is how to protect your data. Backing up, restore and making that process seamless is critical. This track covers everything backup. Also covered here are sessions on disaster recovery and business continuity.
